Which branch of engineering has more scope today?
Answer:
mechanical engineering is the broadest scope as far as what types of jobs you can do, and right now the market is hot because the aerospace industry is going nuts and the auto industry is scrambling to re-engineer vehicles for better fuel efficiency and alternative fuels (not to mention less pollution)
Even if you don't work in one of these industries the increased demand helps you because the other mechanical engineers will take those jobs and leave you with less competition and higher pay in jobs in other industries.
Not saying Mechanical is the only good option or the best option its just the one I know the most about.
Electrical

it ,cse
chem
If by scope you mean ability to work on different types of projects and applications, I'd say mechanical engineering.
You can work on the design of almost anything: a spacecraft, an airplane, a skyscraper, a house, a submarine. the list is endless.
Probably chemical. Reactions are needed everywhere, from solar panels to pollution control equipment to hydrocarbon cracking.
Mechatronics seems to be the big thing at Engineering colleges but it is a lot to learn.
well, being true to form, i'm going to claim my profession: civil engineering.
While i agree that ME's have a lot that they CAN do, its all machines, robots, and some electrical systems. So regardless of whether you're working at Honda or Ford, GM or Toyota, you're going to be dealing with a machine and the process it performs. This of course is entirely seperate from the ME's that actually "engineer" things... like the ones who are designing us into the future with fuel cell ops and what have you... who are actually few and far between.
I graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering. You can be a transportation engineer, a structural engineer, a hydraulics engineer/hydrologist, a geotechnical engineer, a project engineer on construction sites... the list really goes on. In my few years at this, i can say that I have done everything from designing vertical curves on AutoCAD for grade seperations to soil testing to bridge design and inspection to construction project management. Its quite the varied field. What i like most about it is that you can theoretically have a pleasant week.. my current job lets me outside for about 50% of the week, and inside doing work for the other half. Its a great way to see your design ideas actually applied.
one warning though, if you DO go the civil engineering group, construction consultants (primarily the geotechs) work a lot of hours for little pay, and generally not much advancement or recognition, which is why i left.
ECE has good scope.
